Forecast today: Partly cloudy
The mountain starts off gently, with a good beginner area at its base, before it steepens to provide long blues, steeper blacks and towards the summit some great steep terrain. Snow may not be as plentiful here as further west at the likes of Whistler and Revelstoke, but the interior snow is usually very light, dry and fluffy and rarely gets tracked out fast thanks to the lack of crowds.
The purpose-built village is very convenient, with all the amenities you need – just remember to buy most of your food down at a supermarket in the valley as prices will be considerably lower. The location of Panorama makes it the perfect roadtrip destination. Start your trip in Banff to ski Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and Mt Norquay, then move on to Kicking Horse near Golden, before heading down to Panorama to complete a loop back on the way to Calgary.

Whilst high pressure dominates most inland areas this weekend and into the Christmas week, a flurry of activity sneaking its way down from the North brings surprisingly good conditions to the Coastal Ranges this week. Temperatures will hang around just about the right side of freezing at mid-mountain level, with almost continuous flurries of snow bringing steady accumulation for many areas. Whistler could see up to a foot down over this weekend and up to and including Christmas Eve, with more on its way immediately following.
Elsewhere, dominating high pressure leaves things cold, sunny and dry, with very little snowfall expected to the left of the Great Plains.
On the St Lawrence, a bitterly cold albeit dry weekend is in store, with plenty of sunshine on Sunday to make for fine skiing conditions. Expect overnight lows to hit -30°C at times, before improving as the Christmas week continues. Another flurry of snow will move in Monday evening which can be expected to freshen things up well.
